The total surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated by finding the sum of the areas of all 6 faces.
The area of the front and back faces is:
5cm * 5cm = 25 square cm each
Total area = 25 + 25 = 50 square cm
The area of the top and bottom faces is:
5cm * 5cm = 25 square cm each
Total area = 25 + 25 = 50 square cm
The area of the two side faces is:
5cm * 5cm = 25 square cm each
Total area = 25 + 25 = 50 square cm
Therefore, the total surface area of the storage bin is:
50 + 50 + 50 = 150 square cm.
